Wuhan had the great majority of cases in the entire world. The other provinces of China are more analogous to individual European countries. They locked down for a few weeks and have already come back up.
The long term strategies for Korea and China are the same: carefully identify new cases as they come in from outside, find their contacts, and isolate them as soon as possible. Temporarily lock down small regions on an individual basis if necessary. They've already been doing that with some new cases coming in from Italy.
- scarmig 7y ago> Wuhan had the great majority of cases in the entire world. That was true a day or two ago, but that's a bit outdated now: Wuhan at most has had a bare majority of total cases in the world now, and probably a minority. In any event, it'll be a minority in a few hours.

- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoYes, but hopefully they'll identify the flare-up much more quickly and be able to contain it with more targeted measures, before things get to the level they reached in Wuhan in late January.
